Watch the Morning Joe panel trash Hillary's post-election excuses, 'utter incapability for self-examination'

Since her loss, Hillary Clinton and her surrogates have blamed everything under the sun for the failure. Racism, the FBI, misogyny, Russians, anger, voter fraud, bigotry, fake news, the media, religion, and voter apathy have all been offered as scapegoats. When one explanation fails, another is offered. When they run through the entire list of excuses, they go back to the top and start over.

The one thing they never blame is Hillary herself. As I pointed out this morning, if the Dems are going to continue their desperate bid to ignore their party's problems, Hillary must remain the victim. ...But there's no denying the fault lies with the candidate and her strategy. To this day, Hillary Clinton has never really offered a solid reason for her candidacy. She offered platitudes, attacks, and a vague theme of continuing Barack Obama's work, but she failed to make much of a case for "President Hillary." Why was she running? Who knows. The answer seems to be "Because that's what she spent her whole life trying to do." As the Morning Joe panel pointed out this morning - and this is probably the most truthful thing ever uttered on MSNBC - "When you strip it all away her campaign came down to the phrase 'It's my turn.'" It was not her turn, and now the folks at MSNBC are getting weary of her litany of bogus explanations. Watch the clip below, and pay particular attention to New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters. He absolutely nails it when he says:

"It's just this utter incapability for self-examination. It's the Russians fault. It's Comey's fault. ..It's Obama's fault. It's fake News's fault. It's the media's fault. She took another gratuitous swipe at the media saying it was our fault. But what all of this allows them and the Democratic party to do is to avoid the tough questions about why they lost and how they alienated such a large bloc of voters that they needed to win. ...And the fact that none of them saw this for the election this was."

The breakdown of the Democrats' woes doesn't end there, however. The panel does an excellent job of outlining both the depth and breadth of the left's crisis.
